Computer configuration update suggestions needed

[mugen]

Hi,

I have a 5 year old desktop with Intel 845G as the motherboard (with pentium 4). It does not support any graphics card. All I want to do is add a graphics card (any one, even 128MB is fine for me). So I'm thinking of changing the motherboard to Intel 945 maybe so that I can at least add a graphics card also. Maybe later on I'll update the proc and RAM if required.


Here is my complete config:

Motherboard:
CPU Type Intel Pentium 4, 2800 MHz (28 x 100)
Motherboard Name MSI Gamila/Giovani/Neon Series
Motherboard Chipset Intel Brookdale-G i845GEV
System Memory 759 MB (PC3200 DDR SDRAM)

Display:
Video Adapter Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller (64 MB)
3D Accelerator Intel Extreme Graphics

Storage:
IDE Controller Intel(R) 82801DB Ultra ATA Controller
Disk Drive SAMSUNG SP0802N (80 GB, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/133)


So do you know any motherboard that I can upgrade to by keeping the exising things + add graphics card?

Thanks a load,
Mugen

also its not advisable to spend money on ancient parts..your p4 will be a bottleneck and so will be the ddr ram..
